Doc Center : Conceptos básicos de bases de datos. Una base de datos es un conjunto de información organizada de manera que pueda ser utilizada eficientemente. Un directorio telefónico, un diccionario, un calendario o un libro de recetas son ejemplos de bases de datos. La información en una base está organizada en forma de registros. Cada registro contiene toda la información sobre una persona o un elemento de la base. Por ejemplo, cada registro en el directorio telefónico contiene el nombre, dirección y número telefónico de una persona.
Cada registro contiene campos. Un campo se utiliza para almacenar una información particular. El nombre de un campo generalmente identifica la información almacenada en el campo. El conjunto de registros que utilizan los mismos campos conforma una tabla. 4D puede reorganizar los registros y realizar cálculos con la información para hacerla mucho más útil. 4D permite crear desde 1 hasta 32 767 tablas por base de datos. Algunas bases de datos tienen una tabla única. What is database. Main » TERM » D » By Vangie Beal (1) Often abbreviated DB, a database is basically a collection of information organized in such a way that a computer program can quickly select desired pieces of data. You can think of a database as an electronic filing system. Traditional databases are organized by fields, records, and files. A field is a single piece of information; a record is one complete set of fields; and a file is a collection of records.

The various components of DBMS are shown below: - Fig. 2.1 Structure Of DBMS 1. 2. 3. The Functions Of Data Manager Are: – • Convert operations in user's Queries coming from the application programs or combination of DML Compiler and Query optimizer which is known as Query Processor from user's logical view to physical file system. • Controls DBMS information access that is stored on disk. • It also controls handling buffers in main memory. • It also enforces constraints to maintain consistency and integrity of the data. • It also synchronizes the simultaneous operations performed by the concurrent users. • It also controls the backup and recovery operations. 4. 5. 6. 7.

It would be hard to argue that the database market is not mature.
It's also highly competitive, and enterprise database systems come packed with features from hot backups to high-availability. These database systems range in price from free to tens of thousands of dollars. Here is a shortcut to the research you need to determine which solution is best for you. 1.

Main Phases of Database Design. In the picture below there are the main phases of database design. Database design is connected with application design. The requirements and the collection analysis phase produce both data requirements and functional requirements.
The data requirements are used as a source of database design. The data requirements should be specified in as detailed and complete form as possible. In parallel with specifying the data requirements, it is useful to specify the known functional requirements of the application. Note that some phases are database management system independent and some are dependent. Conceptual Design Once all the requirements have been collected and analyzed, the next step is to create a conceptual shema for the database, using a high level conceptual data model. The result of this phase is an Entity-Relationship (ER) diagram or UML class diagram. There are several notations to draw the ER diagram. Logical Design To create the relation shemas is quite a mechanical operation. Sistema de información.
Elementos de un sistema de información. Un sistema de información es un conjunto de elementos orientados al tratamiento y administración de datos e información, organizados y listos para su uso posterior, generados para cubrir una necesidad o un objetivo.
